Revelation Timeline-Postmillennialism Perspective

                          Revelation Timeline-Postmillennialism Perspective                                 

SEALS’ VIEW

·        Seal 1-4: October 66AD to March 67AD-70AD- The Four Roman Client Rulers released their Roman Legion army under the authority of Roman Empire. The Four Rulers are Gaius of Samosata, Herod Agrippa II, Malichus II of Arabia, and Sohaemus of Emesa.

·        Seal 5: August 70AD-The martyrs in Hades cry out for God to send Jesus as the Avenger of Blood.

·        Seal 6: August 70AD/September 70 AD- The 2nd Temple is destroyed/Jews hiding in caves.

·        Seal 7: Moment of Silence-Death of a Nation. Justice is satisfied for the martyr saints. Seven Trumpets are introduced.

 

TRUMPETS’ VIEW

·        Trumpet 1: In April / May 66 AD, Gessius Florus antagonized the Jews by plundering their Temple treasures. This sparked a siege during September 66 AD, which caused Cestius Gallus to go out plunder/burn Jewish towns/villages all throughout Galilee and the Northern parts of Judea. The Jewish Christians/Diaspora makes their long trek to Pella.

·        Trumpet 2: September 66AD- Cestius and his troops fight off a Jewish ambush as they head to the Mediterranean coast. The Romans are defeated. This event is known as the Battle of Beth Horon.

Alternate explanation: Halley’s Comet, volcano eruption and magma toxicity affecting the sea and oceans.

·        Trumpet 3: 66AD- In Greece, Nero witnessed all the springs of water consisting of blood during construction of the Corinth Canal. It is possible that the blood could have easily tainted the aquifers in Jerusalem. Other possibilities are a comet’s/volcano’s properties polluting all the major and minor aquifers of Jerusalem.

Alternate explanation: The comet’s/volcano’s properties polluted all major and minor aquifers of Jerusalem and the surrounding cities.

 

·        Trumpet 4: Late 66AD- Cestius Gallus’ army is defeated along with many Roman-ally casualties. The Aquila statue is stolen by the Jews. This event foreshadowed the exile of King Agrippa II and other Israel-Roman ally leaders. The fire/smoke from the nearby burning towns and villages made it difficult to see the light sun, moon, and stars.

 

·        Trumpet 5: October 66AD to March 67AD- Satan is evicted from Heaven and releases a demonic horde to torture the Jews. Abaddon is the demon who possesses the entire Roman Empire (Nero, Vespasian, and Titus). Nero sends Vespasian and Titus to end the Jewish Rebellion.  The news about the Roman army coming down to kill them resulted in fear and betrayal.

 

·        Trumpet 6: March 67AD-July 70AD – Titus and his four legion army makes their way to destroy Jerusalem. (The Seven Seals are introduced). 

 

·        Trumpet 7: August 70AD/September 70 AD- The Roman’s siege successfully conquers Jerusalem. The Kingdom of God is declared since Apostate Israel and the Second Temple are destroyed.

 

BOWLS’ VIEW

·        Bowl 1: 66 AD-The unsanitary conditions of unburied corpses during the war with Cestius Gallus. Not exclusive to this event.

Alternate explanation: The supernatural onset of painful sores/ulcers/burns/boils through wounds represented spiritual leprosy.

 

·        Bowl 2: Spring 67 AD-Vespasian’s army massacres the Jews at the Sea of Galilee and Joppa.

 

·        Bowl 3: Spring 67 AD-The dead bodies from the Galilee and Joppa massacres significantly pollute the major and minor aquifers of Jerusalem and all surrounding cities. This included the Taricheae and Jordan River.

 

·        Bowl 4: Late 67AD/Early 68 AD-The Romans destroyed Yodfat , Gamala, Gadara, Gischala, and other Jewish inhabited strongholds.

Alternate Explanation: Since the trees were burned down already, it was easy for the sun’s heat and east wind to scorch the skin of the people.

 

·        Bowl 5: June 68 AD-Emperor Nero’s death-The Year of the Four Emperors-Roman civil war.

 

·        Bowl 6: December 69 AD-July 69AD-Titus arrived in Jerusalem. The Siege of Jerusalem begins.

 

·        Bowl 7: August/September 70 AD- The Romans used catapults to breach the walls of Jerusalem. Jerusalem is destroyed.

13 Reasons Why a Spiritual Resurrection in 70 AD Should Be Considered Over a Physical Resurrection

13 Reasons Why a Spiritual Resurrection in 70 AD Should Be Considered Over a Physical Resurrection 1. When did the Old Testament (OT) Saints leave Sheol/Hades to go to Heaven? Surprisingly, many believe that the OT Saints went to Heaven at the Cross. This is not true. In Acts 2, we see that Christ the Greater David was the ONLY person granted a physical resurrection AND ascension. The physical resurrection and ascension of Christ in 30AD pointed as well as confirmed the spiritual resurrection of the OT saints in 70 AD. King David was still in his grave, not Christ. See Acts 2:22-34. When Christ ascended to Heaven in Acts 1:9-11, He ascended ALONE. Later, in Acts 7:60, when Stephen was stoned to death, it says he fell ASLEEP . It says NOTHING about his spirit going up to Heaven with the Lord.  This is especially confirmed if you read Psalm 31 in its full context. Otherwise, you are imposing something foreign into the text. In Matthew 27:51-53, there were a number of dead sain...

From Grave to Glory (G2G)-A Preterist Postmillennial Commentary-Revelation 12-22

Image
Revelation 12 V1-2: We see the same imagery of Joseph’s dream here in Genesis 37:9-11. Israel (representing Jerusalem as well in Matthew 2:18) is described as the Daughter of Zion-a dying mother; specifically, Rachel who died tragically during pregnancy. See Isaiah 50:1, 54:1-6, 66:7; Jeremiah 4:31; Micah 4:9-10; Galatians 4:27; Jeremiah 31:15; Matthew 2:18. Although Jerusalem will be destroyed, the remnant will represent a glimmer of hope similar to Benjamin and Christ's respective births. The woman clothed with the sun represents the exalted status of Israel among all nations. However, the moon is under her feet, which represents the waning status of the Old Covenant. The moon reflects light from the sun. The twelve stars represent the twelve tribes of Israel. The dying Daughter of Zion was about to give birth to Christ and the Church. V3: The Dragon’s seven heads have crowns at this time, which means the Roman Empire was in control. This represents Satan’s authority over the Rom...
